Thread: Rescue - Cedar Waxwing **New Photos**

    Rescue - Cedar Waxwing **New Photos**

    Thought I'd show some photos of my first rescue this year.

    It's a female cedar waxwing, very healthy and eating out of my hand but...

    She has a injured leg (not broken) so she needs some time to heal.

    She's absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for helping her! Do all the injured birds in Ontario know to come to your house? Have you checked the roof to see if they've painted a big star on it for other birds?

    Thank you everyone!

    I don't know why but injured or birds in need of help always seem to find there way to me, for instance one day a found an injured seagull then the next day I found a sick pigeon that needed some care, I don't treat sick or badly injured birds so both went to a wild life center and they will be released.

    It's such a joy helping nature, the hardest part is letting them go lol.

    The Waxwing is doing very well, she loves the wild (safe) berries I picked for her.

    Wow, that's a beautiful bird. I wish we had those here.

    What a cutie. We had some sort of berry bushes outside our main classroom building at college and I used to love watching the waxwings rather than paying attention to the professors.

    Hey,

    Thought I'd do another update on her.

    She's started to use her (hurt) leg and she's moving around allot more now, she also loves to cuddle beside me and will make purring sounds lol. When I was setting up her large cage she followed me hand around and started playing with the twigs and swings, from all the wild birds I've rescued I've never seen one warm up to me this fast. She also eats ALLOT in just a few gulps, she eats apple slices, zupreem pellets, banana along with her wild berries. I just hope she'll start using her wings because so far she can't get on inch off the ground. Below are some new and better photos of her. Thanks Everyone!
